I stumbled upon yet another reality TV show dealing with auto restoration, this one called "Restoration Garage." The show is based out of The Guild of Automotive Restorers business.

I have yet to see a Packard featured, but they do appear to deal more in line with restoring vehicles to their original state.

I watch it too. It is a Canadian program. Seems to be more civilized than the others. I liked the segment where they did a James Hunt Mini tribute and another one where a former royal family car, a Humbler, was featured. They seem to have a good variety of modern and vintage.

"Civilized" is a good way to term the content and presentation. I particularly enjoyed the segment in which they built from scratch a 1937 Bugatti. It was horribly embarrassing for the guys when the car won some prestigious prize at a high-profile car show, then the car wouldn't start! The new battery had gone dead for some inexplicable reason. After jumping-off the car, the red-faced Guild of Automotive Restorer staff member, drove an obviously irked owner to the judge's stand to collect his prize.
